School Notes
- Welcome to the San Marcos KinderCare located in Carlsbad. We are very excited to meet with you and your family. We believe in developing the whole child with an emphasis on assisting your child's social, emotional, cognitive and physical development. We strongly feel that it takes a village to raise a child, and our parents consider us to be an extension of their families. Your child will have a safe, secure and stimulating environment. He or she will be supported by a team of child development experts who have a true passion for educating and nurturing children.
- At KinderCare Learning Centers, your child's safety is one of our top priorities. Not only are all of our perimeter doors locked to ensure security, but all of our playgrounds are fenced with locked gates as well. In addition the front door of the building has a coded entry for authorized family members and staff. Otherwise the doorbell is available to all other visitors who will be greeted by a staff member and accompanied during their visit with us. We have a Health and Safety Coordinator, Ms. Leone, on site. Ms. Leone's role includes: conduction of monthly safety drills, ensures that all faculty first aid and CPR certifications are current, and maintains cleanliness standards.
